Chapter 12: In Disbelief
Calypso's P.O.V.
I bided my time until fourth period. When I sat down across from Kai. He said nothing for awhile, and then turned around to face me.
"I know what he did?" he admitted
Wow no fear of an ass whipping? That's kinda hot…I mean odd. No no bad thoughts. Focus on the objective here Calypso.
"Good then you won't mind giving me the tape then." I demanded.
"Hn. I don't have it." he replied.
"What? That idiot lied to me." I realized
"I could've told you that. Don't worry I'll get it back. But what made you think I had it? Must've been from uh…never mind" he blushed slightly and turned back around.
I could feel my face heat up at the thoughts of the other day. That was definitely one of those days that I hadn't used my head. Unknown to Sam and Serena, it was also the reason why I wanted to get drunk. I didn't want to get involved with anyone. He He just like I hadn't really wanted any friends right? Things never really did go as I planned
After school I went through the halls ripping down the school dance posters or drawing vulgar images on them. School dances suck. They're the chance that preps get to show off their body's and be a groupie for one night without the chance of being suspended. To make matters worse all the dance posters were flourescent pink. Disgusting isn't it? A color that bright shouldn't be used to advertise anyway because it blinds people.
"What're you doing?" Kai asked coming up behind me.
"Protecting my vision." I replied ripping down a poster and tossing it into a nearby trash can.
"Is that what you're going to tell Mr. Dickenson?" he arched an eyebrow at me.
"I don't give a damn what anyone says. People shouldn't be forced to look at trash like that." I informed him picking up my book bag.
We walked out the school together. This is awkward. It somehow reminded me of the other night at his house. That is still bothering me too. Its bad enough that I couldn't sleep or close my eyes without seeing that look of worry in his eyes over and over again. It was eating me alive to ask him about it. Should I? Why not? No. I don't get into other peoples thoughts or business.
"How are you doing?" he asked breaking the silence.
Was he okay? He's asking me about myself? I thought his was one of the biggest 'I don't give a damn about you' attitudes in the whole school. Well there's no harm in answering.
"Fine. I guess." I said
Why couldn't I look at him? Why was he even having an effect on me? Duh. Cause I kissed him. That and the first thought in my head after that was 'what the hell? That was pretty damn good!'
"Well…that's good." he said uneasily
Kai Hiwatari is almost studdering? What the hell is this world coming too?
"Are you worried about me?" I asked.
Forget my pride. Now's the time to get some answers while nobody's around to bug me. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. He did the same, but couldn't look me in the eye. He kinda makes me feel good to have an effect on someone, especially Kai. Why the hell would I want to have an effect on him?
"Just asking. See you around." he walked off without looking back.
I watched him get into his car and leave. Looks like I'm not the only one that's uncomfortable. So we're both bothered by out own actions. Interesting. My cell phone rang breaking my thoughts. Damn phone. These things are useful, but annoy the hell out of you when they ring at the wrong time.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cal. I've got an idea" Sam replied.
"Sounds like you feel better." I said walking up to my car.
"Instead of staying at home on Friday. I say we go to the movies. Because I know damn well you wouldn't be seen at the school dance just like me and Serena."
The idea was a good one. I felt that there was a catch, but was distracted by a white envelope. I hate it when people leave notes to say what they can't. Opening it up I looked at it and read the fine print totally oblivious to what Sam was saying.
"Movies, Friday night. What time?" I asked slamming my car door closed.
"Um 7:30. What's wrong?" she was worried about me now.
"Nothing. I'll see you then." I quickly assured her before hanging up.
Damn. Things just keep getting better by the day. Now was not the time for me to go back to Serena's place. Maybe a drive would do me some good? Yeah, it might. I turned on the ignition. Backing out of my parking spot I turned my blue and black flamed mustang out of the school parking lot.
FOUR DAYS LATER (FRIDAY)
Sam's P.O.V.
I was really worried about Cal. She was sounding strange on the phone when I had called earlier during the week, but I had brushed it off thinking that maybe she still had a hangover. How the girl was able to go to school on the Monday after the slumber party I'll never know. The thing that really worried me the most was that she hadn't been to school since that day. Now we were all outside of the movie theater waiting for her. It was almost 7:30 and I still hadn't heard from her in almost five days.
"You think she's alright?" Serena asked just as worried.
" I hope so..wait there she is!" I exclaimed pointing at the blue mustang as it pulled into a parking space.
Serena and I watched her step out of the car as if it had only been a couple of hours from the last time we'd seen one another. Heh just like Calypso. Casually she walked over to us wearing her black trench coat that fluttered in the wind behind her. She wore a pair of black boots (think female timberland boots), a pair of flare blue jeans, and a black top that said ' Attitude is knowing you have one, liking it, and not caring of what anybody thinks!'
"What're they doing here?" she asked nodding her head in the direction of mine and Serena's boyfriends.
"Well, we thought it'd be nice to invite them along. Where have you been?" I asked
"You know I'm not going to sit with you guys, especially since five minutes into the movie you'll probably be sucking one another's face off." she answered totally avoiding my question.
"Yeah, that's why I got Darius to talk Kai into coming with us." Serena chimed in with a sly grin on her face. More like she did it.
Calypso stood there staring in disbelief. It was one of those Kodak moments where I wish I'd brought my camera. The world just seemed to stop as she just stared at the two of us. I guess she never believed that we'd do a thing like that to her. Muuwahahaha she was wrong. Serena and I talked about it earlier in the week and had decided that we were tired of standing around while she and Kai just looked at one another. Obviously no one else was going to make a move, so who better to set Calypso up than her best friends. That's one of the things I love the most about being best friends with people. You can do thing to torment them and they can't do but so much to get you back without personal information being spilled.
"Come on Cal." I demanded dragging her by the elbow.
She struggled a little bit, but Serena got on her other side and helped me drag her over to the guys. Kai had just gotten back from talking on his cell. His eyes grew wide a little when he saw Calypso, but quickly changed back to his expressionless mask. Perfect. Neither one could back down without offending the other.
